dc.description.abstractThis dissertation focuses on the development of next generation wireless communications at millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequencies. As wireless providers experience a bandwidth shortage and cellular subscribers demand faster data rates and more reliable service, a push towards unused carriers fre- quencies such as 28 GHz, 60 GHz, and 180 GHz will alleviate network conges- tion while simultaneously providing massive bandwidths to consumers. This dissertation summarizes research in understanding millimeter-wave wireless propagation, the design and fabrication of millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz on-chip antenna arrays on an integrated circuit semiconductor process, and the accurate measurement of on-chip antenna radiation patterns in a wafer probe station environment.en
